I WAS WONDERING IF SOMEONE COULD TELL ME IF MY CPU TEMPERATURE READINGS ARE AVERAGE FOR MY PHENOM II 955 AT STOCK FREQUENCY"3.2".
I HAVE THE SWIFTECH H20-220 APEX ULTIMA CPU KIT BUT I ENDED UPGRANDING TO A MCR320 TRIPLE FAN RADIATOR.
THE ROOM TEMP IS ABOUT 18 CELSIUS.

DO MY TEMPS LOOK RIGHT CONSIDERING THE TYPE OF COOLING KIT THAT I HAVE?
HERE ARE SOME PICS OF MY COMPUTER.

Im no watercooling expert, but I'd say thats a little warm for a triple-rad WCing setup. I can only suggest what the WC'er will suggest: Check for bubbles, reseat your CPU block, try using a push-pull fan configuration, use stronger fans?

Hi CMetaphor,
Thanks for your reply. the cpu block's sitting fine on top of the cpu.
I will probably check for bubles and see what happens.
The cooling on my 9800gtx is the arctic cooling accelero xtreme 9800
Thanks again!

To be honest, those look on the high side. I have no experience with WC, but at stock volts and frequencies, not to mention 18C ambients, those are the temps I would expect from the stock AMD cooler.

As a reference, I'm running an unlocked 550BE (Essentially a 955BE), 3.2ghz, 2.0ghz cpu-nb, at 1.26v Vcore, and hitting 35C with Linx at 22C ambients. Cooler is a Sunbeam CCF.

If those are acceptable WC temps, then I seriously have to reconsider jumping onto the WC bandwagon. You have a dedicated triple rad for the cpu, and your CPU block, while no Heatkiller, isn't weaksauce. There has to be something wrong.
